Chennai: The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) has called for applications for the next batch of Online Data Science Program, the first-of-its-kind initiative launched in 2020.
A revolutionary concept, the program aims to make a Data Scientist out of anyone who has cleared Class XII and studied English and Maths in Class X, regardless of their geographic location, academic background, and profession.
The classes for the next qualifier batch will commence in September this year, a release from IIT-M said.
The success of this program can be gauged from the fact that it attracted learners from as many as 27 States and five Union Territories for the Foundation level, with participants ranging from students, bankers, engineers, researchers, managers, teachers and CEOs, among others.
This programme provides a unique opportunity to study from IIT-Madras without having to go through Joint Entrance Examination (JEE).
Students can pursue the Diploma in Programming and Data Science along with their on-campus courses. The last date to apply for the next batch of this program is 30 August.
